BARGAIN PRICES on BEE SUPPLIES 



We have just bought the stock of the Root Company's 

 Des Moines branch, which was moved to Council 

 Bluffs several months ago. 



The stock consists of goods made before manufactur- 

 ing costs were so high. We bought at remarkably 

 low figures and will give you the benefit to close the 

 lot out quickly. 



Don't waste time — write us immediately for prices on 

 the supplies you want. Mention the Root Des Moines 

 Stock, so you'll be sure to get the lowest prices.
